Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Unfortunately, the problem came back again:-(
Why does New Outlook repeatedly ask for an app-specific password?

I’m using New Outlook. The first time I used it, it required me to create an app-specific password to access emails in my iCloud account. After I was able to access my emails, I turned off my computer. When I went back next time to access my emails, it told me again that I needed to create an app-specific password, which I did. After using it that way for a while, now it’s asking me a third time to create an app-specific password. Why is it not retaining the app-specific password?

And then the window most likely will pop up again and ask the APP password again. I would simply close the pop up window. Sometimes the Outlook would be happy for the rest of the day. Sometimes the Outlook would say "NEED PASSWORD". I just simply click on it, it then changes to "CONNECTED TO; MICROSOFT EXCHANGE". Just a nuisance but it is a work around for me.

2024-02-29T11:04:10+00:00 I have thought of another thing, as a last resort i have changed (again to try and make the account more secure) I have changed my account to a "password-less" account, even now it still asks for a password, so this does not work either....poo!
